Trichocereus pachanoi x Trichocereus sp. Juul's Giant (short spine)

Trichocereus pachanoi JS323

I bought several cuttings of this plant on ebay a few years ago. There was a limited description and poor photos so I wasn't clear if I would end up with a bunch of PC pachanoi. Turned out to be a good buy.

Trichocereus pachanoi cv. Ayacucho

Trichocereus pachanoi cv. Ayacucho from trichos* on eBay.

Trichocereus pachanoi 'Claude'

A nice pachanoi I bought from Geffray's Gardens.

Trichocereus pachanoi 'HALF'

A thick Trichocereus pachanoi with monstrose tendencies. These were sold on eBay by jessica363738 and the extremely thick cuttings were described by some as "heavy as loving fuck."

Trichocereus pachanoi Hutchison 1597 BBG 57.0884

I purchased this Trichocereus pachanoi BBG 57.0884 (Hutchison 1597) at the Spring Plant Sale at the Berkeley Botanical Garden in 2006. Originally collected by Paul Hutchison from Huancabamba Province, Piura Dept., Peru.

Trichocereus aff. pachanoi Hutchison 6212 BBG 64.0762

One of the most beautiful pachanois, I got this from Sacred Succulents. This plant was acquired by the Berkeley Botanical Garden in 1964 from one of their field expeditions to South America.

Trichocereus pachanoi JS34

A form of Trichocereus pachanoi with monstrose/cristate growth I received as a gift from the manager of Regan's Nursery.

Trichocereus pachanoi KK2150

Trichocereus pachanoi KK2150 from trichos*.

Trichocereus pachanoi monstrose cl. A

Trichocereus pachanoi monstrose/cristate clone A from Sacred Succulents. Large fans of cristate growth. Starts out with short spines, quite long spines developing on the older growth. I believe this is identical to the "short spined peruvianus monstrose" that was offered by California Cactus Center and the "trichocereus pachanoi monstrose" currently being offered by Altman Plants.

Trichocereus pachanoi monstrose cl. B

Trichocereus pachanoi monstrose/cristate clone B from Sacred Succulents. The cristate growth tends to be more wavy than that of clone A.

Trichocereus pachanoi 'Short Spine Peruvianus'

A form of Trichocereus pachanoi that I bought from California Cactus Center. They had it labeled Trichocereus peruvianus, which led to the nickname 'short spine peruvianus'. Very similar to the Trichocereus pachanoi 'short spine peruvianus monstrose', but without the monstrose form.

Trichocereus pachanoi JS336

A really nice Trichocereus pachanoi with very short spines from Jessica.

Trichocereus pachanoi JS444

A great thick and blue Trichocereus pachanoi.

Trichocereus pallarensis JS261

T. pallarensis from Sacred Succulents seed. I received this from Michael S Smith who speculated it may be a hybrid with T. terscheckii.

Trichocereus pasacana

Trichocereus pasacana from somewhere in Southern California. Probably can be traced to Altman Plants ultimately. You can a lot of rocks on the plant due to a construction mishap.

Trichocereus 'San Pedro x peruvianus hybrid'

This is the plant a big ebay seller refers to alternately as 'San Pedro x peruvianus hybrid' and 'peruvianus x San Pedro hybrid' as if those are the same thing.

Trichocereus peruvianus "Small Spine Huancabamba" JS130

This came to me from Michael S. Smith as "Trichocereus peruvianus 'Small Spine Huancabamba' - thick plant with fuller spines." I've got it labeled as JS130 for my collection.

Trichocereus peruvianus JS135

This came to me from Michael S. Smith as "Trichocereus peruvianus from Home Depot."

(Trichocereus peruvianus x Juuls Giant) x SS02

Trichocereus peruvianus JS300

Said to have been grown from Karel Knize seed labeled Trichocereus peruvianus. I'm calling this one T. peruvianus JS300.

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Tarmaensis'

Trichocereus peruvianus cv. Tarmaensis from hobbygardner.

T. peruvianus 'Icaros DNA'

I've got several of these plants grown from seeds provided by Icaros DNA. There are multiple phenotypes but they all look great.

Trichocereus peruvianus BBG 48.1540

Trichocereus peruvianus BBG 48.1540 purchased from the Berkeley Botanical Garden at their Spring 2006 plant sale. One of my favorites.

Trichocereus peruvianus x Trichocereus cuzcoensis

A hybrid of Trichocereus peruvianus and Trichocereus cuzcoensis. This one came from davidartist987654321.

Trichocereus peruvianus v. cuzcoensis

Trichocereus peruvianus v. cuzcoensis from Sacred Succulents. Seeing the spines on this one really makes me feel that much of what we consider 'cuzcoensis' is not accurate.

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Glaucus'

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Glaucus' from zircon6.

Trichocereus peruvianus JS08

I purchased this from Sacred Succulents as Trichocereus peruvianus around 2002. A nice, distinctive plant I've designated as Trichocereus peruvianus JS08 for my collection. Gets nice and blue if given some shade.

Trichocereus peruvianus x Trichocereus pachanoi 'Juul's Giant'

A hybrid of Trichocereus peruvianus and Trichocereus pachanoi 'Juul's Giant' that I bought from Sacred Succulents around 2002.

T. peruvianus 'Poots' #1

A nice Trichocereus I first purchased from Poot's House of Cactus in 2002. I've recently realized it looks a lot like T. macrogonus RS0004. This is one of what appears to be two distinct peruvianus/macrogonus clones from Poots. The other one is here.

T. peruvianus 'Poots' #2

Only occasionally have I seen this T. peruvianus at Poot's House of Cactus. Beautifully blue in the right conditions. This is one of what appears to be two distinct peruvianus/macrogonus clones from Poots. The other one is here.

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Rimac'

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Rimac' from monstrous_cactus. Reminds me of an 'argentinensis'. Seems different than zircon6's Rimac.

Trichocereus peruvianus sp. Puquiensis 'San Pedro Macho'

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Rimac' x Trichocereus pachanoi

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Rimac' x Trichocereus pachanoi from monstrous_cactus. (The double column picture shows this cactus next to a PC pachanoi.)

Trichocereus peruvianus RS000x

Trichocereus peruvianus RS000x from Kakster. He had acquired Trichocereus peruvianus plants from three different sources that he named RS0001, RS0002, and RS0003. Over time once grown in the same habitat they began to all look the same. He lost the label on these so I'm just lumping them all into Trichocereus peruvianus RS000x.

Trichocereus 'Short Spined' peruvianus JS87

Trichocereus 'Short Spined' peruvianus that I got from hobbygardener10 who said he got from davidartist987654321. Not so short spined as it gets comfortable in the ground. Looks to be distinct from the short spined peruvianus from California Cactus Center.

Trichocereus poco

Trichocereus poco from Poot's House of Cactus.

Trichocereus scopulicola clone #2

Trichocereus scopulicola clone #2 from Kakster who described it as follows:

Seeds originally collected by the Nazi cactlogist Friedrich Ritter who explored remote and dangerous areas of South America, living with impoverished Indians and writing taxonomic descriptions of cacti. As a young man, he fled Mexico to avoid paying pickax-wielding workers when his family's silver mine ran out of silver. He returned to his Fatherland to enlist in the army during World War II. After the war, he wrote books on cactus and philosophy preaching "the uselessness of sympathy". He died in the Canary Islands.

Trichocereus scopulicola

A Trichocereus scopulicola I received from M. S. Smith in 2003.

Trichocereus shaferi monstrose

Trichocereus shaferi monstrose, occasionally forming cristate growth as well. I suppose shaferi has become Trichocereus schickendantzii now, so I'll have to add a new name to this label eventually.

Trichocereus spachianus

Trichocereus spachianus. This is a great plant that is often under appreciated. Grows quickly, frequent and prolific basal pups, quite cold tolerant, and easy flowering. This has also become my favorite graft stock.

Trichocereus sp. SS02 x (Trichocereus peruvianus x Juuls Giant)

Trichocereus sp. SS04

T. taquimbalensis JS30

Trichocereus taquimbalensis JS30. I lost my notes on where this one originally came from.

Trichocereus taquimbalensis JS360

Trichocereus taquimbalensis JS360. This one outgrew me this year so I'm hoping for some flowers next year.

Trichocereus taquimbalensis Kimnach2760B

Trichocereus taquimbalensis Kimnach2760B from Sacred Succulents.

Trichocereus terscheckii JS145

An unusual Trichocereus terscheckii grown from seed that I purchased from joecactusmt on eBay. Very flimsy spines. It's a few feet tall now and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Trichocereus terscheckii JS287

A unique form of Trichocereus terscheckii from a collector in Sacramento, California.

Trichocereus terscheckii JS354

Trichocereus terscheckii that I bought from Poot's House of Cactus. It was about 3' (1m) tall when I planted it in June 2008. Six and a half years later in December 2014 it's 11' (3.3m) tall with several branches forming.

Trichocereus terscheckii JS407

A great from of Trichocereus terscheckii that I purchased from Geffray's Gardens.

Trichocereus sp. 'Torres & Torres'

Trichocereus uyupampensis? BBG 60.0450

Trichocereus uyupampensis? BBG 60.0450 from Sacred Succulents. Their description:"Arborescent peruvianoid plant to 15'+. Olive green stems 3-4" in diameter and 5-9 ribs. Spines 1-3" long. White flowers. We got this plant from a Berkeley Botanical Garden sale many years ago but we question the name it came with since it does not fit Backeberg's desciption for the species."

Trichocereus validus

Trichocereus validus from Sacred Succulents. Described as:Tree like cactus. Dark green stems up to 8" or more in diameter with 8-10 ribs. Large felty areoles with 7-10 radial spines and 1-2 central spines up to 3" long. White nocturnal flowers. Southern Bolivia. An impressive plant, slow growing and rare in cultivation.

Trichocereus validus?

I got this plant from Poot's House of Cactus. They consider it to be a form of Trichocereus terscheckii, but to me it looks very similar to one of the forms of Trichocereus validus. I'm currently of the impression that validus is just a form of terscheckii anyways.

Whatever you call it, this one is distinct from most other forms of terscheckii. It tends to pup basally rather than developing an arborescent appearance. Diameter is a couple inches less than terscheckii when grown side by side. Spines are straight.

Trichocereus validus? NL52509a

Trichocereus validus? NL52509a from Sacred Succulents.

Trichocereus werdermannianus

I purchased several of these seed grown Trichocereus werdermannianus plants from Poot's House of Cactus. There are minor differences in spine patterns but they're still young.

T. 'WK'?

This came from the Berkeley Botanical Garden but I've never seen anything like it in their collection. Thick as a terscheckii but flimsy, thin spines.
